== Setting/Changing Your RCS Password ==
To reset your password, you must go to [https://my.riverdale.edu myRiverdale].  If you are able to log in (with your own password or a temporary password) see the [[Passwords#Setting a new password before it expires| Setting a new password before it expires section]] below.  If you do not have a working password, jump down to [[Passwords#Resetting a forgotten/expired password | Resetting a forgotten/expired password section]].
